Final Days in London

I have been home now for almost a week. The first couple of days were hard because of the time difference but it became better over time. I am glad to be home even though the temperature here roughly is about 107 degrees everyday. I really miss London and the feeling of the big city and hopefully in the future I can visit again.


On my last weekend I spent Saturday hanging with my brother and his girlfriend. We went to Portobello Road which is a street that is completely lined with stores. Some stores are just tents in the street that are selling their products. There is a variety of items to buy food, clothing, antiques, and jewelry. All the buildings along the street that people live in are painted the colors of the rainbow. Some houses are light blue, green, pink, and yellow. The street becomes very crowded and cars try their best to drive through the crowd of people. This street is always open but if you want to go there while all the store are there then you must visit on a Friday or Saturday any other day and it is just a normal street. So if you plan on spending time there I suggest going early in the morning before many people show up. After we headed back to the flat to grab our tennis rackets and my brother and I headed out to play tennis at the same place we had played previously. We played tennis for an hour and then headed home for dinner. We went to bed early that night because of my flight in the morning.


My next day was spent fly through the air with a lay over in Atlanta. My flights were not bad at all. I could not sleep though so by the time I was home I had been up for about 24 hours and then finally went to bed.


I really miss London and the feeling of the big city, but hopefully in the future I can visit again. My time there was greatly appreciated. Not many kids my age get to experience the things I have just from my little bit of time in London. The city is filled with so many different cultures and things to see that it is impossible to not grow as a person by just being in that environment. London has so much history and learning is easy in a place like that because you learn something new from every street, museum, market, transportation, or park that you see. I am thankful that my family allowed me this opportunity and I hope they can see some of my experiences through my blog.


My blog may become a blog about my senior year in high school and the events that take place throughout the year. I hope that you have enjoyed my blog about London and have learned some facts about London as well. Write me a post to let me know what you thought over all of my blog and keep checking in for more updates.
